Mark Zuckerberg wears a De Bethune DB28xs “Kind of Blue” tourbillon watch, a timepiece widely described as costing about $225,000 (roughly ₹2.1 crore). The watch’s distinctive cobalt-blue look draws attention as Zuckerberg appears in the same shade in public settings around a Meta event.
Both outlets tie the choice of an all-blue watch to personal reasons. They say Zuckerberg has red-green color blindness, which leads him to perceive blue as especially clear compared with other colors. They also describe the watch’s blue aesthetic as intentional engineering rather than a surface paint effect: De Bethune is said to create the tone through thermal oxidation, heating titanium at high temperatures to produce an oxide layer.
The coverage is largely focused on the watch’s connection to Zuckerberg—his color perception and the watch’s distinctive method of achieving its blue dial—rather than new details about Meta or any broader business context.
